If you look at in terms of a mass distribution of content to a wide variety of people, the streaming of film and television content are beneficial.

Interactivity: A Telepresence ApproachOver the years film and television has been highly successful as a source of rich media, but its richness is falling compared to other medias that deliver more of a telepresence. Audiences are responding more to communication devices, such as games and computers that deliver in interaction.

Convergence, the combining of communication devices such as IT, social networking, media content with a service, product, or process.

The only rationale that I could come to was Jonze was Jonzing for his music video days in a short film version. When I started watching it I knew this wasn't anything I was getting.

They're simple, but their also something I wish I could have thought of doing. She's still in university, but that doesn't stop her from being the new up and coming illustrator. You can also notice her love for sketching hair, which can sometimes add millions to an illustration.
